(3) K-3 Illustrated by Fabian Negrin. Negrin illustrates the final, poetic paragraph of Darwin's The Origin of Species in sensitively rendered watercolor paintings accented with wax and pencil. He effectively varies the focus of attention--from landscapes to microscopic details, from a boy exploring for worms to a bird's-eye view from a tree branch. A beautiful, mysterious, and compelling package. Glos.
Reviewer: Miriam Lang Budin
